A very simple rajma February 18, 2007

Inderjit Singh does nothing to his rajma. That’s probably why it tastes so special

Like any self-respecting sardarji, Inderjit Singh’s distinguishing quality is that he himself doesn’t know what he’ll say next. This makes it something of a challenge to extract a recipe for anything from him. As I discovered shortly after I broached the subject of his amazing rajma with him.

“It is definitely one of the best rajmas I have ever eaten,” I burped at him once, after finishing my number fifty-something meal at his unusual, all-vegetarian, utterly home-style and wildly popular eaterie at Lokhandwala Complex. Guru da Dhaba, it’s called; Guru is ostensibly Inderjit Singh himself. Gnome of a Sikh, with glasses on, and a definite attitude when it comes to food.

His rajma is the second purest I have ever eaten. The purest was at the home of a schoolmate in Old Delhi decades ago. I remember steaming rice, a clear hot spoonful of ghee, and an overwhelming rajma — medium brown, not submerged under a cavalry of cardamoms, cloves, gingers and garlics, not mashed, not forced to join hands with black dal. The red kidney bean, allowed to speak for itself, emitted a mellow purr, mumbling first but growing in confidence with every mouthful.

Guru’s rajma came very close — a thin, dark red gravy within which rested perfectly cooked red beans. With the sardarji’s chapatis, arbi masaledar and boondi raita, you were very near a perfect meal.

“Do you cook it yourself?” I asked him.

“Mr. Siddharth has already written about me,” he said, as though the end of the world was nigh. The article in question was framed and hung behind the cash counter. next to the aluminium container with chilled chaas.

“Oh, well then,” I said, turning away.

“But I cook it myself,” he said to my retreating back. “My kadhi is even better. Best in and out of Punjab. Rajma and kadhi. Never forget.” Guru in a nutshell.

The sardarji is from Rawalpindi; his young life was spent not in Punjab but in Dehra Dun. Later, in Mumbai, he chugged an autorickshaw around for years, found it wasn’t enough. Started making and selling tea, with moderate success. Spurred by his wife, the legendary Ranjit Kaur, Guru graduated to simple lunches that she cooked at home and sent to the shop in a dabba. One thing led to another, dabba became dhaba, and that led to today’s Inderjit Singh.

It was only when Ranjit fell ill that Inderjit really began to emerge, a veritable Neptune rising from the foam, colander in one hand, perforated spoon in the other, methi all over his beard, ready to cook or be cooked. His wife, the Guru’s own guru, taught him all that he knows, turning a three-wheel dilettante into a passionate chef.

I know. I’ve watched the gnome at work. Around 9.30 am, he will alight, all sweating and profane, from someone else’s autorickshaw, laden with the day’s requirement of fresh vegetables picked by his own hands. Then he will get in there and start cutting and chopping with the boys. Every day, Guru presides over the rebirth of his own menu. Never tires of it.

“What’s so great about my rajma?” he asked me suddenly, as though he didn’t know. “There’s nothing in it. It’s just boiled with red chillies and salt.”

“What about the gravy?” I asked him. Surely that was more than spiced hot water.

“This is the uncle,” he said unexpectedly to his young son, “who is going to take pictures of me for the papers. He says people are more important than food.”

“I need a shot of you cooking rajma — or something,” I said, hoping I wouldn’t get some unrelated oddball answer.

“I may not even be here,” he said, suddenly combative, as though I’d tried to sell him a defective eutectic freezer. He decided to dismiss me. “You go. Come back tomorrow at 11 am. Shoot what you can. The rajma will be on the table. You can’t have everything your way. ”

But the sardraji was there, and he did create his extraordinary ordinary rajma which respects the bean it boils. It is elegant, simple to make. Even you can make it. Try.

Method
Don’t soak the rajma overnight. Simply put it to boil for 30 or 40 minutes, until it is tender. If you use a pressure cooker, that’s six or seven whistles. Now in two tablespoons of oil or ghee, fry the onions golden brown. Throw in the tomatoes, stir a bit, then add red chillies and salt. Stir some more. Now grind this to a fine paste. Pour this over the rajma, add hot water till you have a medium thin gravy and simmer, covered, for another half hour or so. (Or allow six to seven whistles more on the pressure cooker). That’s it.

Do not mash. Do not garnish with coriander. Do not garnish with anything. Do not add garam masala. Do not speak while eating.

Guru da dhaba is pretty well known and easy to find. Turn left at the first crossroads of Lokhandwala’s main road. It’s the fourth or fifth shop on the right. Hard to miss. While there, be sure to try his arbi masaledar.

This concept is the foundation of the very best Italian cooking, and of Lebanese as well…use the freshest, finest ingredients you can find, use the fewest ingredients you can, and use impeccable technique but keep it simple and allow the ingredients to speak for themselves.

There is one thing I simply don’t understand, and it appears to be a cultural difference in how Indians from the homeland write recipes: why on earth do you insist on using weights? It’s not as if everyone has a scale in the kitchen. For crying out loud, wouldn’t it be so much simpler to use volumes like cups, mL, tablespoons, cubic inches or whatever?

I have eaten there and vouch for the food and also for the old-n-grumpy Guru’s antics. But he has mellowed down now.

On my last visit there with my family (Dec 2009), we had to wait for 35 minutes. Why? Because his staff had run away. Only one new guy was trying to manage everything. Guruji’s daughter was cooking and we had to wait till she finished cooking. Her friend had come to help and was waiting tables.

I found it very funny, that true to his reputation, he scared his staff away. But we were all disappointed due to one BIG missing factor. The food just did not taste the same without that lovely pudian chutney. The Masala Chhas and Boondi Raita did help. Their curd is very pure, like nectar – not even a hint of sourness.

Another funny bit was when I was paying out at the check out counter for the four of us. They don’t give you a bill and Guruji himself totals everything on the calculator, as you speak one item at a time. It is very hard to remember each item at a time after that lovely meal. The only thing on your mind is ‘sleep’.

I have been a regular to the place as well taking my wife and parents along (up till May 2010)! But the part that I hate most is lack of cleanliness. The lure of the taste forced me to overlook at the cleanliness part but it kept coming back in my face till I could ignore it no more.

They hire teenagers from his village and they act as the waiters. This is invariably the first job of those waiters and they are just not up to it because they may have never known about hygiene all their lives in their village. And its not like they can be trained because the owners keep fighting with those teenagers all the times and then those teenagers run away.

I finally had to give up going (at least for the monsoons) after one of the waiters cleaned our table with a dirty old cloth (probably must have been used the whole day or week without a wash) and then with a matter-of-fact disposition cleaned all our plates with the same cloth. The innocent teenager didn’t even know he was doing something wrong and God knows what all he must be doing when cooking our food. My heart sank there and then and I knew that I could no longer ignore this hygiene issue.

If anyone who has been there recently (August 2010 or later, please do share if the hygiene situation has improved.

Very healthy way to food just like the home specialists,our mothers. The inherent flavor of the beans must not be killed. Like the Lebanese chhole/ chick pea mash. My mother does magic with her vegetables using just Two spice- recipe( cumin/turmeric/red chillies)

Thanks for sharing the recipe. I’ve been cooking Indian food since our last visit to India in May, 2012. Most recipes use pressure cookers, and I was glad to find your recipe NOT using one. Simple and delicious!

This blog has been inactive for some time, alas. A part of the reason is that I have been busy shifting my blog to a wordpress.org website, and making it more comprehensive.
